The image shows a painting of a mountainous landscape with a house on a cliff. The painting is done in black ink and shows a mountain range with jagged peaks, some bare trees in the foreground, and a house perched on a cliff. The house has a tiled roof and appears to be surrounded by a railing. There are several lines of Chinese text in the top-right corner, written vertically. The background of the painting fades to gray towards the top. The painting appears to be on aged paper with visible signs of wear. The image is divided vertically down the middle, as if two facing pages have been photographed.
